Don't Loose Focus!!



Recommended Posts

I just want to say a few words!! I am having my surgery on June 5th 2012 but I have started my weight loss before then and I am doing okay!! I looked in the mirror this morning and can't imagine how I am going to look after I loose all this weight!! I can't wait to to face all those people who called me fat cow, and ugly, and nasty names and I began to loose focus of my goals. I realized after watching this christian show that I must not loose focus!! I can't let pride get to me once I am looking and feeling great!! I just wanted to post this topic because everyone on the forum seems to be hard on themselves once they gained a little weight back!! Its not the weight you gained back but how you humble yourself when you loose the weight! Once you get the focus off yourself and loose pride yes I said loose pride then you will begin to see what this weight loss is really about!! Once the people encourage you and people say how good you look and once you have mastered the weight loss or try then you will begin to loose yourself don't!! For once second don't loose focus on this mission because if you dont humble yourself and see the good in you now then you wont see it once the weight is off!! Learn to say I look good now but once I loose this weight then God will give me the strength to do bigger and better things!!!

Once you add the weight loss with the mind and know that with this better look and with the weight loss now God will give you the strength to master it!! But when your pride takes over and you begin to see the weight loss as a weapon then you will begin to get stuck and you might gain it back!!

You might gain all the weight back and more or be so nasty that no one can stand the better smaller you!! Learn to humble yourself and see this journey as doing Gods work and begin to be a better person with the weight loss.

I hope everyone gets my message and see that I am trying to get people to humble yourself so people can see who you are and loose the pride cause shame will find you and you will hate the person you become once the weight comes off!! Take the new look and the new you and never forget that God got you through this and now you can take this weight loss and better health to the next level because you let pride go and now you can humble yourself with the new you!! If you do you will begin to look better both inside and out!! And for the people who called me fat cow and for the husband who cheated and made me feel like crap daily, and for the people who made me feel bad because I was over weight and for all the guys who never wanted to date me because I was big and for all the people who made me feel ashamed because I loved food!! :( Don't worry because the new and improved humble me will soon come out and I will send all of you a thank you note for never letting me forget where I came from!!! i'm on my way and I plan to do all of Gods work with this new body and new mind!! Humble I will be!!! ;) !!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
